I hate revolving doors. They make me feel claustrophic. And I always feel anxious about the person behind me pushing too quickly.

damn, that’s actually really fascinating. I have always wondered whether they were just remnants of the by-gone days when movie stars and dignitaries would only stay at the finest hotels with mega-revolving doors. Guess now I know that they are green doors, I’ll try to use them even though they are annoying. Also makes a great after dinner conversation tidbit.

fascinating! here’s one I’d never seen the math on. Which leads ME to ask; how about having the smarty-pants at MIT design a revolving door that is user friendly!?? Lots of people hate the things; if you have a kid, a package, a pet, or don’t walk exactly the way everyone else does, they’re awful. Let’s get one that’s pleasant to use!

WHOA! I bet we could also use the doors to help power the building when people push them! It might not be a lot of energy, but if the place with the doors is busy it could generate a nice amount to save the buiding money.
